Hadn't visited in a few years. Took my wife to dinner there last night- amazing dinner. She had the Short Rib Dinner with mashed potatoes and carrots and I had the Short Rib Sandwich and fries. Best sandwich I've had anywhere in awhile. Short Rib was so juicy but the pretzel bun was a perfect complement and the horseradish topping - omg! Just made a perfect bite. The hand cut fries were perfect. Food was great, price was right, atmosphere cozy. Perfect place for date night or happy hour.

Great food! Some of the best calamari we’ve had and the short rib sandwich was delicious. The servers could not be nicer. Will definitely go back.

Our very first visit to Mad Jacks. Denise, our server, was wonderful! Fun, engaging and made an amazing Manhattan. We enjoyed the goat cheese salad and spare rib sandwich on a pretzel bun and perfectly cooked fries. Overall just a fun lunch experience. We will be back!

In honor of my Uncle Jack I had to stop in & eat at this wonderful pub! It has a lovely rustic vibe to it. Love the lunch options with half sandwich & soup to choose from. I opted for the special soup (chicken tortilla) of the day & a tuna salad sandwich topped with an American cheese melted over the tuna. If you love a tuna salad with diced onions & celery this you will love this sandwich. The chicken tortilla soup was very tasty & not spicy at all. But, the bread pudding stole the show with a beautiful presentation & baked to perfection that matched the flavor & texture of this very traditional dessert.

We went to Mad Jacks last evening. I ordered the shrimp pasta and it was delicious. I would definitely order it again.

My friend and I had lunch here and we really enjoyed it. Their homemade bean burger is so good! The sauce, if you like dill, is amazing. Our server was attentive and kind and we both definitely would go back

This little place is great! Must have crab cake! They changed up the menu and took off the crab cakes. To bad they were great. But we tried some new stuff! The lobster bisque soup is very good. Good martini’s as well. The fillet was a little different but good.
